Weird World: Magnate commissions hand-crafted £4,000 gold face-mask

Published

An Indian businessman is wearing a pure gold face-mask to fight off Coronavirus.

Shankar Kurade spent £4,000 on the face covering, which took craftsmen eight days to create.

Kurade said: “I love gold and I am very happy with wearing this mask. It is a thin mask and has tiny holes so I am not facing any problems with breathing.”

Shankar Kurhade (48), shows his face mask made out of gold as he poses for a photograph amidst the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Pune, India, July 4, 2020. Kurhade claims the mask weighs 50 grams and costs around $3870. REUTERS/Stringer REUTERS/Stringer NO ARCHIVES. NO RESALES.

The 49-year-old businessman is known for his obsession with jewelry and got the idea after seeing a news reporter wearing a golden mask on television.

He explained: “I always go out wearing all the jewellery pieces so when I saw this man on TV wearing a mask made of gold, I thought why should I not get it made in gold?

“I went to my personal jeweller and proposed the idea. They took eight days to make it.”
